The Puppet Stand....



The Louisiana District Sunday School blessed us with a wonderful puppet stand and puppets to use in Children's Ministry here in Africa! We are very excited!!!

So, one day Jaydie and I decide that we are going to put it up and try it out. Like anything you always sit down and read the directions FIRST. We read the directions and we were still clueless. So, we say " ok let's get the stand out and see what we can figure out." It didn't work. So, we watch the slide show they sent in the box and we guessed that it would help if we knew what a button hole is. So, once we figure it out the next thing is to figure out how the pipe goes into the hole. Fifteen minutes later we figure that out. Next, we have to decide which way the pipes hook together. Yeah we know a 10 minute puppet stand shouldn't take an hour. Ok, we are getting it done. Finally we have a puppet stand up and running!!!!

Tip: When putting up a puppet stand have someone like a man there to help. Believe me my dad probably could have put it together in 5 seconds.. LOL

We decided to make the puppets look African. So, we braided the girl's hair. Not in one big braid. But, with little braids all over!!! How cool is that? We have named her "Isabella." So, now we can start the puppet shows up and running..... Carrying HIS Light!

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Love yas,
Hannah
